Introducing Autumn 20 'MARMONT'
Yu Mei presents our Autumn 20 collection MARMONT for presale. Inspired by the famed Chateau Marmont, a grande dame of scandal and decadence. MARMONT introduces rich emerald hues reminiscent of the coniferous trees that surround the building’s facade, contrasted with acidic lime and velvety cognac. Familiar styles are reimagined in new textures, with the much-anticipated croc texture.
We also welcome three key new styles, that cleverly transform to perform double duty.
The Suki Clutch is a petite box clutch style in a structured embossed croc finish. Suki has a removable casual crossbody strap and additional coloured Deer Nappa strap option that transforms Suki into a chic evening bag.
The Milly Bag is a compact, bonded suede mini-tote with extra long zip tab, interior card slots and a removable crossbody strap. Milly can be worn with side panels tucked in for a square shape.
The Claudia Tote is an oversized version of the Milly bag and a sophisticated travel companion. Featuring clip-together covered button side panels, a hanging interior pocket and a clever travel sleeve on the exterior that slides over suitcase handles. With a zippable bottom, this sleeve ingeniously converts into a pocket.

Yu Mei Bag Care
Introducing Yu Mei’s Bag Care range, designed specifically to treat the premium buttery soft skin synonymous with Yu Mei. As it is a skin itself, deer nappa demands the sort of care with which you would treat your own skin. The Leather Balm can be applied with the soft touch of your fingertips, to cleanse, hydrate and provide essential nourishment for your Yu Mei bag. Follow with the Protector Spray for an invisible shield to ward against moisture. Ensure your bag is hydrated and protected to extend its longevity and weather your journey with you.

Spring 19
Yu Mei's Spring 19 collection is inspired by slices of sun that signify the promise of juicy fruits, oversized hats and the long nights that await our Yu Mei woman; who has been dreaming of an eternal summer. Satsuma evokes an orchard of ripe citrus, while Seaweed brings a welcome reprieve of mediterranean shade. The collection is grounded by Teddy, a soft nude reminiscent of sandy skin and summer tan lines.
We welcome a new style, the Phoebe Bucket, as well as refined updates to Rebecca and Vi. Old favourites Brigette and Luci return in juicy colourways.
